Nebraska Primary Election Results

Gov. Pete Ricketts and Senator Deb Fischer, both Republicans, are running for re-election in Nebraska, a deep-red state where they will probably prevail in November.

Voters were also choosing their candidates for a competitive House seat in the Second District, where Representative Don Bacon, a first-term Republican, is running for re-election. In the general election, he will face Kara Eastman, a liberal community activist and the Democratic nominee.

Abortion had been a flash point in the Democratic race: Ms. Eastman supports abortion rights and made them a focus of her campaign, while Brad Ashford, a former Republican, has long supported more restrictions. The battle between them is a microcosm of one being waged within the national Democratic Party: Should the party accept anti-abortion candidates, or should it make the issue a litmus test?
